Shortened Forms of Provocative Lead Chelation

This study evaluated the efficacy of abbreviated chelation protocols using calcium disodium EDTA (CaNa₂EDTA) to assess lead body burden in occupationally exposed individuals. By comparing 4-hour and 24-hour urinary lead excretion following chelation, the researchers found that the shorter 4-hour collection correlated strongly with the 24-hour results, suggesting it could
